The complainant requested information about computerised court records from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). The MOJ refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA: vexatious requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore the MOJ was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it.
